When will rivian get fart turn signals?




Just kidding, I would cancel my order if that happened.

Have you actually heard that? Or are you just teasing us? Because those things would be a more systematic change and it seems unlikely to happen at this time given the public information I've seen. And that would be a much bigger deal than all the other things she confirmed in the video.

That said, I'm also hoping the Q2 shutdown will bring in the Enduro quad motor, because RJ has previously implied that's coming. I suspect a price increase though, so I need to start preparing for a more expensive purchase.

if they replace the bosch motor with a quad enduro- that is cheaper.

We discuss quantum physics in here. Fart jokes are on the Cybertruck owners group forum.

Yes, cheaper to produce, but more valuable to the consumer. So, I don't think they're going to pass the savings on to us. I think at best, they'd keep the pricing the same. But the Dual Performance is already so close in price, I'd have to think they'd make the price difference greater than the current quads. I considered starting a thread for that to see what people would be willing to pay, but I feared on a Rivian Forum, people would give too high of an answer, and I'd be doing Rivian's homework for them.

I've also been wondering what they'll do with the Bosch vehicles at that point. Seems like they'd have to charge more for the enduro quads just to get rid of the stock of Bosch quads. Is it possible that they'd keep Bosch around even further than that? Or once they kick in the enduro quad, that they'll stop production of the Bosch quads, and then the (now enduro) quad price will go up for those not locked with a configuration.

If the in house quads get more hp/torque, Rivian can charge more and people will buy it

Of course, but how much more. I mean clearly only like $100 more. Remember, we don't *need* to be faster than the CT.

(Shhh, Rivian might be watching.)

Haha, who knows. Perhaps they could keep the $8k premium like today for in-house quad, but reduce the Bosch inventory down by reducing those cars by $1-2k

No, it's not. higher energy dense cells are not heavier.

Feel free to explain why the Max Pack R1T has 44 lbs fewer of payload than an otherwise identical Large Pack R1T.

Different cells absolutely could differ in weight even though they are the same physical size and volume because you're changing the materials out which have different densities.

They can make it a little juicier for the thousand HP one and I'd still happily pay. Hopefully not too bad.

1100 hp quad motor please

I do not really care about the quads, if we end up getting an R1S for my wife it will probably be the standard dual motor.

Something I hadn't considered before. I am now wondering if Rivian is going to do a Quad Motor and Performance Quad motor for the new quads.

It's true universally, not just at the quantum level. But I'll admit that 135kWh doesn't weigh all that much if you do the math.
